After ten years of monitoring your home, your smoke alarm starts to lose its reliability. Smoke alarms over 10 years old need replacing with a photoelectric smoke alarm. If you can’t remember the last time you replaced your alarm, it’s a good idea to do it now. Fortunately, smoke alarms now have the date and alarm type on the back, so you’ll be able to check exactly when your new alarm needs replacing.

All Fire Permits are cancelled and not even small fires under two metres are allowed. Please don't breach these bans as heavy penalties apply. These bans are necessary due to the predictive fire conditions which are amongst the worse for September on record. Thank you for understanding.
